We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ridge Run Park West yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“Very peaceful place to take a walk after dinner.”

Ice Age Trail West Bend. This is a great spot for families, kids, and parties. Large parking lot with modern restrooms. This spot has several picnic areas with roof including BBQ grills and even a large bonfire area. This also has a party cabin and large playground.

★★★★★ — Monica , Jul 2023

Awesome little rental and park. Great for parties, get togethers, BBQ’s and hikes. Good location and beautiful grounds.

★★★★★ — Mj , Apr 2023

Beautiful trail! Hiked from the Ridge Run West parking lot to the Paradise Road trailhead and back. Great scenery and typical kettle moraine terrain - lots of hills. Was a bit slick in spots due to the wet leaves. Will do this trail again in the winter.

★★★★★ — Tracy , Nov 2023

This is a great park if you are looking for a nice walking path with a stroller or a nice hike on the Ice Age Trail. I've also done photography sessions here before for some of my clients and it was great!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
